Awards program recognizes excellence in industry
CHICAGO, IL – The Cabinet Makers Association (CMA) is pleased to announce the winners of
their 2018 Wood Diamond Awards contest.
The Wood Diamond Awards were first offered in 2010 as a means for members to be recognized by their peers. Immediately the program became yet another benefit from the CMA to help their members market themselves. In the past eight years, shops of all different sizes and types have entered and won. All judging is done by non-participating members of the CMA, assuring that the results are scrutinized by professionals.
“The CMA was founded on the principles of sharing one’s experiences and ideas with other
members in an effort to promote success and professionalism in the woodworking business,”
explains Amanda Conger, CMA’s Executive Director. “This award program allows yet another
outlet for that purpose to be fulfilled.”
The 2018 award winners were announced on Thursday, August 23, during the IWF 2018 trade show. All winning entries received a certificate recognizing their achievements, while first place winners are awarded a customized plaque declaring their excellence in their respective
category.
The 2018 “Best Of” award goes to Woodland Furniture (Idaho Falls, ID) for their outstanding project submitted in the category of Kitchen: Finish, Over $50,000. Following is a listing of the first place award winners recognized by category submitted and dollar amount of each project. Details and photos can be viewed at www.cabinetmakers.org/2018winners
